I am healing up great and I am so happy about it. My scar looks just as my surgeon said it would and less red than I expected. I tried on my bikini top last night and was so excited to see that my breasts look great in it! You don’t see strange looking cleavage anymore and since he essentially tucked it in right where my original scar was, there is now no scar to be seen! YAY! (Now all that I need to do is buy a bikini top that will stay on while swimming lol) I am experiencing a bit of slight discomfort/pain in the middle of my chest and every once in awhile in my right breast. I imagine this is common and normal. Just because the surgery was performed on my left side… doesn’t mean the recovery wouldn’t affect the whole area. Nerves and sensations travel and all that. But just the same, if I am still experiencing it when I have my next check up, I will mention it.
I am still in shock at how easy the recovery has been for this procedure. I seriously could have just dealt with the pain and not taken any pain meds if I had wanted to. The healing process has been great… and right from the get go my breast looked amazing… my surgeon, Dr. Momoh, is just spectacular and I highly recommend him!
James and the kids are being super helpful still and the only dinners I have cooked are simple things like chicken patties and french fries. Lol Isaiah has really stepped it up as well and is learning to cook new things. I should be able to start driving this Tuesday but James still wants me to take it very easy… not drive far at all. I plan on going back to the library on the first Tuesday of the month of May, and that will also be me taking it very slow… and not going crazy on how many books I reshelve and such. If I hurt myself doing all that, James would be very annoyed.
Anyway, that is the update for now. I am including a pic of me in the bikini. Why? Because why the hell not that’s why! LOL I am happy.
